The FatMan iTube ValveDock The iPod obviously
is the greatest thing since unicorns and rainbows, but it can produce a
slightly thin, cold sound. Valve amps, while they put out warm, rich
audio goodness, are hilariously clunky and outdated. But if you run the
one through t'other, the way the ValveDock does, you get the best of
both worlds: the organic power of the analog past redeems the sins of
the digital present. Plus those glowy retro vacuum tubes look
cool.Price: $450; $550 with speakersMore info:Fat Man iTube ValveDock

Sennheiser MX W1 Wireless Headphones The sound that pumps
through these precious earbuds  via an audio technology called Kleer
 is crisp and full. They're comfortable too, and they work with
virtually any device: just plug in the base station and you're good to
go. Price:$499
